Step-By-Step Instructions for Watermelon Feta Skewers
  1. Begin by cutting the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are uniformly sized for even skewing. Crumble the feta cheese into similar-sized pieces.
  2. Take a wooden skewer and carefully thread on a watermelon cube followed by a slice of cured meat, a cucumber strip, a feta piece, and a basil leaf. Finish with another watermelon cube.
  3. Lay the assembled skewers beautifully on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic reduction just before serving.
  4. Sprinkle kosher salt over the skewers to elevate the flavors. Serve immediately.
